This reminds me of the SNL skit with Phil Hartman as Sinatra telling Chris Rock as some rapper, "Hey, kidd...yoo got talent!"
[Rapper] "Hey, mannnn...I ain't got no talent, mannnn."
[Sinatra]"No, yoo got talent; but yoo don't havta go 'blue'.
[Rapper]" Mannn...I'se tellin' ya: I..AIN'T...GOT...NO...TALENT; an' what's all this s**t about 'blue'? Git yo honky white A** outta my face, anyway, mannnn."

Well, one thing Frank might appreciate about rap, is that in some of it, the words are comprehensible, and effective timing and phrasing are everything. Sinatra didn't like songs where you couldn't understand the words, and he will forever more, be the acknowledged master of phrasing, when it comes to song. He had the gift.
